Hi all, I'm trying to arrange a meet on 3rd May @ Stirling services 10am, then out for a run from there. (Weather permitting of course)
If you fancy popping along, your all more than welcome regardless of what foccin bike you have :rollin

interesting, do you have a better map with the route on it? can see roughly where it's going but want to make sure, cheers.
-
I'm happy to do either. If the run we could meet for coffee before hand? If it's to far for people then we'll just have to do our own little run? :D
Route looks like glenrothes to dumferline, stirling then around to st andrews - ish?

Good shout about meeting beforehand for coffee for those that dont want to go too far.
Yeah I'm happy to do either too, but not to sure about finishing away up in St.Andrews with the long haul back for me and a few others that come from Glasgow way, but then I guess someone has to travel more than others in things like this.
Open to suggestion, get your twopence worth in and see what the majority say.
-
like i said either. Both are about the same distance for me. Maybe a little half and half? Do the start of the rally until around the Stirling area then we can always turn off and do our own thing. Save you guys travelling to much?
Otherwise just tell me where and when and I'll be there 8)
-
I'm happy regardless of where I go, that said, a fair jaunt to glenrothes to start at 12 is a bit late by the time it gets back to st.Andrews for me anyhow.
I'd still be up for meeting at 10 @ Stirling, so if anyone wants to meet then go do their own thing that's all cool.

I`ll more than likely be marshalling and helping out with this run as I`m part of the committee, even though I`m not from fife, wont be hard to miss,,,,,, fat Focer on a thou lol

What's it like as a run?
It looks a fair distance, I marshal at Yorkhill and Erskine but tge fife looks a fair ride, is it everyone together throughout the run?
-
a fair distance???
it's only 95 miles... man up ya' foccer!!!
:b :b :b

Lol well it's a fair distance once you add it all together 249 all in for me
:rollin
It's certainly doable, but I'll probably have my boy on back too and maybe bit much for him.

we try and stick as a group throughout the run, usually deviates into a few groups as roundabouts/junctions inevitably split the pack up BUT we always have marshalls spaced front to back, a support vehicle and a recovery van at the rear along with a marshall as tailgunner to keep everyone safe, pace isn't silly usually around 50 - 60 mph dependant on roads.
-
day off has been confirmed. 10 at services?
-

The run is a long day for me aswell (not as much as you) and it would be nice to meet people off here :D
-
It's all about what you want to do, anyone can leave/arrive when they want, I'm just making a meeting point and a route, if people want to just come along and meet each other that's great, if they want to come the run or go and do their own thing afterwards, that's great too.
Btw, youngsterbiker, I was up glencoe today but never saw you, I did see your message in what you done with your fazer today though.
-
I only found out i had sunday off on friday evening. If i had known sooner I would have posted on here. :) Disadvantage of my job i guess.
-
Yes the joys of working life lol
We had a good day for it, was loads of bikes out :-)
-
So who's up for this wee Scottish meet?
-
Mee. As long as I can find these seizes you speak of. Only one I know is with sainsbury McDonald's place. Is it there?
-
I might pop along to this depending on the weather, probably just to say hi before I shoot off again though. stirling is not too far for me really for a meet up. only about 25 miles :)
-
That's my plan too, put faces to names, have a wee blether and if some want to go a run that's good too.
It's the Stirling services at the junction of the M9 and M80
FK7 8EU for you posh foccers with sat navs :rollin
-
I will be a posh foccer then....
I'll be there and have the day off so can go for a run or just a coffee, im happy :D
10 am yes?
-
Yes 10am :-)
See you there
-
I'll be there so long as I can have my new tyres fitted beforehand (next week all going well ) :)

Just been keeping an eye on the weather, unfortunately looks a bit damp for Sunday but I'm keeping an eye on it as it's not always how they say it's going to be.

Always the way, just check in morning when I open the curtains, if it's dry, I take the bike, if it's wet, I check the weather on phone to see if it's maybe going to clear and if it is I take the bike, if not, it's the cage, but it's quite a fast wee cage so it's not all that bad lol
Where is it you stay mick? I'm on west side of Glasgow.

Just looked at the weather for stirling tomorrow, rain and cold apparently :( Best bring me umbrella then...
-
Aye, looks like it will be a wet one I think :(
-
You want to do a weather check in morning then? I've got youngsterbiker number I'll pm my number to mick, seems like it's only us three anyway confirmed that's going?
-

I know you've worked hard to go Fen, but if it's really bad it's not worth the hassle, I'll give you a txt in morning once I see how it looks so your not wasting your time coming away down the A9 if we're not going, means you could go a run up your way if weather is better, what time would you need to leave to be at Stirling for 10? I'm reckoning you'd be leaving about 9ish so I'll txt you before that to let you know, don't want you wanting your time.
-
My plan was to leave around 9 ish yeah. I was going to check the weather in the morning up north and down at stirling. I dont mind a little rain but not riding in a rain storm. I've always got the option of heading to the run near Edinburgh if its nicer there or even knockhill (Apparently there are race cars there) And worse case scenario ill get out on the mountain bike then spend the day drinking and playing xbox :D
-
You mean the glenrothes teddy bear run?
Yes, you have loads of options, we can't have a say in the weather, wish we could but we could arrange another time as summer comes along :-)
